Addazio picks up a Cincy kid

When you have certain productive recruiting territories, you need to do you best to harvest and defend them. The Cincinnati area -- with its strong Catholic School league -- has been a great source of talent through the years. I worried that Addazio might not place the same emphasis on it that TOB and his successors had. However, we got some good news Saturday when Ben Glines committed. He's listed as an athlete now but will probably play on the defensive side of the ball. He might not be as heralded as some of our previous St. X recruits, but it is important that we stay relevant in the area.

He won't see a minute of time on offense. This is another one of those athletic OLB/SS tweeners that Brown loves to lineup in the box for blitzes, TE coverage, and chasing RBs to the flats. Something like Millano, Lezzner, maybe Seward.
